Wounding Policy / Agreement:

Wounding of game is an unfortunate aspect of big-game hunting. It is a requirement that every effort be made by both guide and hunter to avoid wounding game altogether by being properly prepared. Knowing your game, weapon and, above all, your shooting ability (and limitations) are obvious requirements to preventing these situations. In the event an animal is wounded, it is a further requirement that both hunter and guide work diligently together to retrieve the animal. 

While working to provide clients every reasonable opportunity to take a trophy animal, we ask for a conscientious effort from everyone involved to promote the highest standards of hunting ethics. Accordingly, the following applies to all clients: 

All hunters are expected to make sure that the weapon they use on the hunt is sighted-in for optimum accuracy and is otherwise in sound operating condition. 

All hunters are expected to conform to the highest standards of gun safety while participating in the hunt. If your guide has to warn you more than once for unsafe behavior your hunt will be terminated and you will not be refunded for your hunt.

All hunters are expected to promote and practice the highest standards of hunting ethics while hunting with Montana Big Game Outfitters. We are required by law to report all wildlife violations that occur while hunting with us.

Wounding and failure to recover game is a big loss to both the outfitter and the hunter, not to mention the wildlife. As a result, every reasonable effort must be made by guide and hunter to retrieve wounded game. 

We sell our hunts based on the number of trophy animals that we feel that we can harvest each year while ensuring a continuous and healthy population of trophy animals for the year to come. Any lost animals can hurt this balance that we try so hard to maintain. 

For this reason, it is our policy that if you hit/wound/draw blood from an animal that your hunt for that species will be over. The determination of the wounding policy is 100% at the discretion of the outfitter and is not negotiable.
